Apple terrace - Kasteel Oud Poelgeest
Walkers, cyclists and other guests of Kasteel Oud Poelgeest in Oegstgeest can enjoy a new green terrace on the estate this summer, affectionately called the 'Apple Terrace'.
Visitors are enthusiastic. The attractively furnished Appelterras is the place in the Leiden region to unwind with a cup of tea and a good book. Or to catch up with a friend after a long walk in the shade of the trees over a cup of good coffee.
Oud Poelgeest director Fleur Visser invites everyone to come and enjoy the new terrace. "We also have a terrace on the castle side, but this new, green space we were able to create on the reception side has a completely different 'vibe'. There, in addition to cosy seating, we have also put up a large wooden table where you can settle down with your family or colleagues."

On the Apple Terrace, visitors find themselves in a small oasis. "Lovely to enjoy the tranquillity that this piece of Oud Poelgeest exudes. Between the greenery you can hear the birds singing, and you can imagine why Herman Boerhaave loved this estate so much."
Those who perch on the green terrace can enjoy all kinds of apple-style treats. "Apple cider, apple pie or apple juice, it can all be picked up from the barista cart. On the other terrace, everyone is welcome to dine or enjoy a drink."
By the way: anyone who comes to eat or drink something at Oud Poelgeest automatically contributes to maintaining the estate. "All profits we make directly benefit the preservation of this heritage," says an enthusiastic Fleur Visser.
